Students learn foundational principals of advanced research, including hypothesis formulation, experimental design, and statistical methods to assess experimental data as it relates to hypothesis testing. Prerequisites: Previous exposure to statistics and programming in a language such as Python, MATLAB, or R.

Students learn to motivate research, design experiments, analyze/display data, present results for their own research. Receive training in professional skills, including project leadership and management, best practices for collaborative research, and developing resilience. Prereq: BME 6001-6004, or permission by instructor

In a team, develop, prototype, and conduct verification and validation tests on engineering solutions to clinical challenges, demonstrating concept viability. Formal Design Control, Life Cycle, Risk Analysis, Project Management and Intellectual Property Strategies are introduced. Using Product Development Protocols, prepare a regulatory and implementation pathway analysis for commercialization into clinical practice. Prerequisite: BME 6550 Special Topics: Clinical Technology Continuum of Care

Focuses on the study of forces (and their effects) that act on the musculoskeletal structures of the human body. Based on the foundations of functional anatomy and engineering mechanics (rigid body and deformable approaches); students are exposed to clinical problems in orthopedics and rehabilitation. Cross-listed as AM 6280. Prerequisite: BME 6103.

Introduces techniques for constructing mathematical and computational models of biological processes at many levels of organizational scale from genome to whole-tissue. Topics include choice of techniques, quantitative characterization of biological properties, assumptions and model simplification, parameter estimation and sensitivity analysis, model verification and validation and integration of computational modeling w/experimental approaches.Prerequisites: BME 6101, and BME 2104 or BME 7806 (or equivalent).

Applies engineering science, design methods, and system analysis to developing areas and current problems in biomedical engineering. Topics vary by semester.

Provides students with a quantitative framework for identifying and addressing important biological questions at the molecular, cell, and tissue levels. Focuses on the interplay between methods and logic, with an emphasis on the themes that emerge repeatedly in quantitative experiments. Prerequisites: BME 6101 (or equivalent), SEAS graduate student status, or instructor permission.

For master's students.

FOR GRAD STUDENTS ONLY. A research project in biomedical engineering conducted in consultation with a faculty advisor. Includes the design, execution, and analysis of experimental laboratory work and computational or theoretical computer analysis of a problem. Fulfills the project requirement for the Biomedical Engineering Masters of Engineering degree. Prereqs: Instructor Permission Required.
